What are the side effects of alkali in water

The human body needs to consume a large amount of water every day to maintain normal body needs throughout the day. When drinking water, you should choose the mineral composition of the water according to your own body. However, due to environmental reasons, people in many areas have been drinking water with high alkaline content for a long time. A proper intake of alkaline elements every day helps maintain the body's balance, but what kind of harm will drinking water with too high alkaline content cause to the body every day?

The harm of drinking alkaline water for a long time

1. Alkali forms, acid does not form

Any substance in nature that can occupy other substances to form structures or connect itself into plates without being dissolved by water must be an alkaline substance. Whether it is an organic acid or an inorganic acid, they will not stick together, and other substances will not form plates on their own. In other words, any acidic substance will not bond; and any substance that has bonding ability must be an alkaline substance.

2. Calcium carbonate decomposed from calcium bicarbonate has a very important property - binder

Almost all water and food contain some calcium bicarbonate. Calcium bicarbonate is unstable and easily decomposes into calcium carbonate and water. Calcium carbonate is just a white precipitate, commonly known as limestone. Calcium carbonate also has a second property, which is that calcium carbonate decomposed from calcium bicarbonate under environmental conditions is a binder.

3. The blood of a healthy person must be weakly alkaline. When the human blood vessels are blocked by alkaline substances, the nutrients in the blood cannot be consumed by the blood vessel wall cells, and the blood will become weakly acidic.

When the inner wall of human blood vessels has not formed a structure, the human blood must be in an acid-base balance state, that is, it will be weakly acidic. Large areas of capillaries and cell entrances will be blocked, making it impossible for organic acids in the blood to be absorbed. The acidic substances and nutrients that originally exist in the blood should be absorbed and consumed by cells, and human blood will become weakly acidic.

The side effects of drinking alkaline water for a long time are as mentioned above. Now more and more people are suffering from blood diseases. The blood of normal people should be acidic. When the blood vessels of the human body are blocked by alkaline substances, the nutrients are reduced. If this continues for a long time, it will naturally cause some problems in people's blood. So everyone must pay attention to safety when drinking drinking water.
